    NSW Female Mudcrabs...

    Heya's..

    So I'm on holiday's down at Wooli (from brisbane) and caught a bunch of muddies in the pots. Now I know the law states you can take jennys as long as they're not berried up.

    However, I took a jenny home and cracked her open to find eggs. There were none on the outside of her at all.

    What does one do in this situation ? Should I just throw the crab back, albeit dead.. Or is it reasonable to still eat her ?


    I'm just chasing clarification here for future reference.

    Cheers

    Don't think it will have any bearing on the taste so might as well eat it.Can always turf it if it taste like shit.

        Don't waste the eggs - they're delicious (cooked of course)! Nothing illegal about it provided there's no eggs carried on the underside of the crab when caught.
